Indications for Use
ScrewIndirect Narrow Dental Implants are implants for single-stage surgical procedures intended for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae, in support of complete or partial denture prostheses or as a terminal or intermediary attachment for fixed or removable bridgework via interface with copings. These implants are intended for immediate loading for support of splinted multiple tooth restorations, provided initial implant stability and appropriate occlusal load requirements are met.
Device Story
ScrewIndirect Narrow Dental Implants are tapered, screw-type endosseous dental implants; manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy with soluble blast media (SBM) coating. Device features standard 'V' thread configuration and 2mm mini-threads at the coronal aspect. Designed for single-stage surgical placement in mandibles or maxillae with limited buccal-lingual bone availability. Operated by dental surgeons in clinical settings. Implants serve as anchors for prosthetic attachments (copings) to support dentures or bridgework. Immediate loading is permitted for splinted multiple tooth restorations when clinical stability and occlusal criteria are satisfied. The 3.0mm diameter variant expands the existing product line to accommodate patients with reduced bone volume.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Medical grade titanium alloy. Surface: Soluble blast media (SBM) coating. Design: Tapered screw-type endosseous implant with 'V' thread configuration and 2mm mini-threads. Diameter: 3.0mm. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for partially or fully edentulous patients requiring dental implants in the mandible or maxilla to support complete or partial dentures or fixed/removable bridgework. Supports immediate loading for splinted multiple tooth restorations if initial stability and occlusal load requirements are met.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An endosseous dental implant is a prescription device made of a material such as titanium or titanium alloy that is intended to be surgically placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw arches to provide support for prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth, in order to restore a patient's chewing function.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a root-form endosseous dental implant. The root-form endosseous dental implant is characterized by four geometrically distinct types: Basket, screw, solid cylinder, and hollow cylinder. The guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Root-Form Endosseous Dental Implants and Endosseous Dental Implant Abutments” will serve as the special control. (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2) *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II if it is a blade-form endosseous dental implant. The special controls for this device are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use; (ii) Mechanical performance (fatigue) testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate maximum load (endurance limit) when the device is subjected to compressive and shear loads; (iii) Corrosion testing under simulated physiological conditions to demonstrate corrosion potential of each metal or alloy, couple potential for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system, and corrosion rate for an assembled dissimilar metal implant system; (iv) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible; (v) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of the device; (vi) Performance testing to evaluate the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment; (vii) Labeling must include a clear description of the technological features, how the device should be used in patients, detailed surgical protocol and restoration procedures, relevant precautions and warnings based on the clinical use of the device, and qualifications and training requirements for device users including technicians and clinicians; (viii) Patient labeling must contain a description of how the device works, how the device is placed, how the patient needs to care for the implant, possible adverse events and how to report any complications; and (ix) Documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.
